One last one...

This is it! Prayerfully this is the last post while we are a family of 4! Here's a little glimpse from each of us: Josh: Still lovin' 3rd ID. He seriously is really enjoying this position. Which has turned him back into the man we all know and love :) For so so so many reasons! He's gearing up to run his first 1/2 marathon since his knee surgery last winter here in a month. And he is loving time with the kiddos--He and Renae have a bunch of games that are just the two of them and they all have names: Elevator...Floppy Fish...Superman...Crash in the Ocean super cute. Erin: 1 day shy of 39 weeks pregnant. Feeling every day of it. I've actually had a few reality check moments that in no longer than 2 days and a wake up we'll have another child! It's weird not knowing the gender...makes it exciting, but also kinda takes away the reality of it...kinda of because you can't spend all the time planning details--we don't have a name...we don't have clothes ready (well, we have about 3 outfits of each washed and ready to go) but we don't have the room ready, I haven't made any baby crafts with B3s name on it...all things that built reality before. But I'm glad we are being surprised, it is pretty fun! I am still pretty uncomfortable, been really sore for a couple months now. I'm very excited to just be tired and not tired and hurting. AND I really really am excited to have my huge tummy gone. It's hard not being able to give hugs and carry kids comfortably. Especially when kids are crying or hurt (which happens alot at 2 and 1). Renae: She is a professional dresser. She puts all her own clothes on everyday and has been for awhile...couple months maybe. She's probably nearly as fast as I would be putting clothes on her. She can even put things inside out and the other day we were pulling out some clothes from last 'winter' (hahaha- winter in GA) and she tried on clothes for a good 30 minutes and kept up. She's learning new words every day and really likes playing with Jack. She wants to do EVERYTHING herself, so we are working on asking permission to do it herself instead of taking liberties. Favorite activities: puzzles, tea parties, side walk chalk, hopping/dancing/running, and Jack. Jack: Silverware required. He wants to eat everything himself. And for the most part he does ok. He can use a fork like a pro. Way beyond Renae with that one. And he stays clean, it's insane. He still snaps all the time, dances, and TALKS a mile and minute. He does better about switching from screaming to trying to use words. He is learning animal noises especially cows, dogs, bears, and cats. And he knows how to find his tummy, belly button, ears, nose, eyes, mouth, and hair. Favorite activities: Playing with beads, cars, following Renae, animals, books. And soon +1 makes 5!!! Eeek!!! WHOO HOO!
